She recently told the LA Times that she was looking forward to new director Francis Lawrence’s interpretation of the franchise.

She said: ‘I really like his take, which is a lot of what I liked in [The Hunger Games director] Gary Ross. It’s the realistic grasp of the story instead of all the details of the imaginary things.’

Lawrence added: ‘The new movie will be very real, which is what I’m excited about.’

Her co-star Josh Hutcherson, who was also seen shooting scenes in the ocean, said the new film would be ‘great’.

He told MTV: ‘They actually built a cornucopia in Atlanta that we shot at, and it looks amazing, and the way that the spokes got out, and the way everyone comes up on the pedestals and the water – it looks incredible.

‘I’ve seen some of the CG renderings that Francis has worked on, and they look really, really great.’

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire will be released on November 22, 2013, in the UK.
